2.9.10

We are going on vacation tomorrow (!!!) but that means this week I've been mired in deadlines and grocery shopping and meetings ... trying to squeeze my 6-day workweek into 4 measly days. I will be thankful for the extra labor come Saturday when I'm reading around on a golf cart and sitting under a beach umbrella.

But the past few days have held good, memorable times, too, though. Between apple picking, birthday parties, sleep overs, and pear and grape picking, we are worn out in a really good way. Also, I taught my daughter how to eat a muscadine.

Rip, suck, spit. Moments become memories,

a child transforms like the seasons --

life doesn't get better than this.

I imagine this weekend will bring us even more amazing memories and exhausted smiles. Enjoy the holiday weekend (and keep your fingers crossed for us down at Myrtle Beach during hurricane season)! Oh, and send my sister some good vibes since she'll be solely responsible for keeping our house (and chickens) safe this weekend.

Enjoy your vacation! And I see Bella does the squat sit. I have one of three daughters who can do that - feet flat on the ground, but bottom not quite touching. The rest of us fall over on our backsides if we attempt it. Wondering what special degree of flexibility is required for that feat...

Ok. I came back and re-read the post, LOL. I was flyby posting earlier. I know, shame shame. I hope you are enjoying your vacation. I didn't know what a muscadine is either (and yeah I think I butchered the spelling) but she sure is cute eating it.
